| | Showaddywaddy Good Times CD - Import Showaddywaddy Discography of CDs
By the time of Showaddywaddy's seventh album, Good Times, almost all of the original spark and enthusiasm the band displayed with their exciting brand of rock & roll revivalism had been paved over by a smooth expanse of pandering showbiz tendencies and bland silliness. The record is the usual mix of originals and covers of '50s and '60s classics. This time out the selection of covers is obvious with picks like "Alley-Oop," "C'mon Everybody" and "Shake," each of which is drained of life and given a dose of lackluster professionalism. The only cover that has a pulse at all is their dash through the Easybeats' screaming rocker "Good Times," and even then the band ruin it with their ham-fisted playing. The originals are no great shakes either as the corny backing vocals and overall processed sound turn even the songs that threaten to rock -- like the opener "Multiplication" and "You Always Stand Me Up" -- are turned to mush by the end. Some of them were mush from the beginning, like the cheesy polka-sounding "Party Time" and the overly emotional "I Don't Like Rock N' Roll No More." Showaddywaddy should have packed it in long before this album came out. It is that bad. Not that they ever had much of a reputation but what little they had would have been left in tatters if anyone had been listening. It failed to chart and was thankfully cast into the trash heap of glam history until 7T's rescued it and added two equally terrible bonus tracks. ~ Tim Sendra

Purchase Good Times CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Good Times album
 $9.58   
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter ...

Good Times songs
$10.39
Like the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL franchise, GLEE became more than a TV show when several of its songs cracked the Hot 100, including the number four hit "Don't Stop Believing." That song kicks off this soundtrack, the first in a series of albums cataloging the music performed by the show's cast. Not all GLEE members are created equal--some cast mates are far better actors than singers--but this soundtrack has enough star power to keep things trucking along, especially when powerhouse alto Lea Michele takes the wheel. She sounds ...
| | Nirvana Bleach CD (1989) Deluxe; Deluxe Edition
Good Times album
$13.19 
With a sludgy, chainsaw guitar sound that owes as much to early Black Sabbath as to Kurt Cobain's heroes The Melvins, whose drummer puts in an appearance here, Nirvana emerges from Seattle's underground scene as standard-bearers of a style that embraces the anger and energy of punk alongside the thick, muddy sonic attack favored by early '70s proto-metal bands. Cobain's lyrics are fueled by outrage and self-loathing, combining literary flair with a direct, visceral quality that makes him a viable candidate for the John-Lennon-of-Gen X award.
Nirvana's debut album showcases what sounds more like a force of nature than a rock band. The unrelenting fervor with which the group delivers these 13 tunes is almost frightening. There is also a strong melodic flair that leavens the ferocity occasionally, hinting at the scope of Cobain's compositional talents. "Love ...

$8.99
Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though the ...

| | Dave Camp Torrid Rain CD (1996)
Good Times album
$13.15
Dave Camp's splashy, picture perfect debut Torrid Rain is one of those ultra smooth sax albums that you try your darndest to resist even as it sucks you in by your lapels and gets your brain humming from the first listen. Logic says it's too infectious, too melodically simple and not adventurous enough (despite some cool atmospheric percussion effects) to be any sort of jazz, even if it's contemporary. And yet, those mouthwatering melodies, combined with a spirited mix of wild tenor funk and skydiving soprano, makes this an affair to remember. The hook about these great hooks is that Camp didn't just pop onto the scene out of nowhere. He's seasoned his chops these past years backing up mellow monsters like vocalist Al Stewart and (here he is again) Peter White, who co-writes and plays on a handful of the best tracks. As a writer, Camp is already top-notch. Playing wise, it may take him another disc or two to be fully identifiable from the first radio strains, but his equal affinity for both horns and flute will no doubt work in his favor. Right in the pocket, this is the kind of stuff genre critics gnash their teeth over as contempo fans rock steady into that passionate good night. ~ Jonathan Widran

Good Times album
$13.05
Singers who grow up in countries that are known for long, dark, cold winters don't necessarily provide an abundance of melancholy music. ABBA, after all, came out of Sweden -- and they wrote the book on fun, frivolous, sugary Europop and became the blueprint for countless other Scandinavian (and German and Dutch) party groups. But it is safe to say that melancholy (or melancholic) is something that some Nordic artists do very well -- Denmark's Tina Dico, for example. In ...
